A nurse is reinforcing teaching with a client about the use of a condom to prevent transmission of sexually transmitted infections. Which of the following statements should be included in the teaching? (Select All that Apply.)

A. "Use the condom for no more than two sex acts.": Condoms are designed for single use only. Reusing a condom for multiple sexual encounters significantly increases the risk of breakage, leakage, and STI transmission, this instruction is unsafe. B. "Using an oral contraceptive without a condom decreases the risk of transmitting an STI.": Oral contraceptives prevent pregnancy but do not provide any protection against STIs. Relying solely on oral contraceptives can give a false sense of security and increase the risk of STI transmission. C. "Check the expiration date on the condom before you use it.": Condoms can degrade over time, especially past their expiration date, making them more likely to tear or break. Verifying the expiration date ensures the condom is effective in reducing STI and pregnancy risk. D. "Using a condom decreases but does not completely eliminate the risk of transmission of STIs.": Condoms provide significant protection against many STIs, including HIV, gonorrhea, and chlamydia, but they do not cover all areas of potential contact, such as skin-to-skin transmission of herpes or HPV. E. "Use an oil-based lubricant with condoms.": Oil-based lubricants can weaken latex condoms, increasing the risk of breakage. Water-based or silicone-based lubricants are recommended to maintain condom integrity and effectiveness in preventing STIs.
